After leaving Deli Trading Company, Yin Yong was in a good mood. Although the two deals had not been officially completed, he was sure that as long as the Third Reich verified his weapons, they would not refuse. Because whether it was the MG34 or the No.1 tank, they were both once the Third Reich in history. The standard equipment of the army. He also clearly told Andreas that he still had more things in his hands. For the sake of the good goods in his hands, even if the two sides did not sign a contract, Andreas would not be lazy. After all, what he wanted was not important to the Third Reich, and what he could give to the Third Reich was the most important thing that could not be bought with money. It would save at least a few years for the army to complete their armament! The same was true for Joseph. If he could really save his wife, as an outstanding citizen, he would definitely understand the great value of this drug!
Yin Yong didn't return to the hotel immediately. He led everyone to the dock and brought a few large wooden boxes with him. He asked Zheng Xiong to hire two big carts to transport the wooden boxes back to the hotel.
In the hotel lobby, a beautiful figure was staring blankly at the hotel entrance. When Yin Yong's figure appeared at the door, the beautiful woman could not help but smile. She quickly walked up and called out softly,"Big brother…"
Yin Yong was also delighted. After letting Zhao Fei and the others move the wooden box back to the room, he walked forward with a smile."Xiao Lan, why are you here?"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Lan smiled."Big Brother doesn't want me to come?"”
"Of course not…You just got home, so I thought you would be at home with your family!”
Zhou Lan blinked and said," Uncle has work to do, so he's rarely at home during the day. Aunt was playing cards with someone else, so I snuck out. Besides, when I left yesterday, I said that I would come to see you today. If I don't come, won't I be breaking my promise?"”
Yin Yong was a little embarrassed. Before Zhou Lan left yesterday, she did say that she would come today. However, he was anxious about the deal with the Third Reich and left early in the morning. He did not think of this at all.
"Um…I'm sorry, Lan. I had something to do this morning, so I went out.”
" It's okay…" Zhou Lan said considerately,""Big Brother went to do serious business. Why would I be angry…"
Yin Yong asked for a cup of coffee and sat in the lobby with Zhou Lan, whispering to each other. They had some food at the restaurant during lunch time, and Zhou Lan left. She also declined Yin Yong's offer to send her home and left alone in a rickshaw.
Yin Yong was still worried about Zhou Lan's safety so he ordered Zheng Xiong and Wang Yu to secretly follow behind to protect her.
Two hours later, Zheng Xiong and Wang Yu arrived at the hotel and informed Zhou Lan that she had returned home safely. They also reported that they had discovered several skilled people protecting Zhou Lan in secret.
Yin Yong guessed that Zhou Lan's family must have been frightened by the incident at Yue Chi two days ago. For her safety, he secretly sent people to follow her.
Early the next morning, after leaving Li Jie and Sun Hao behind, he brought Zhao Fei, Qian Jin, Zhou Zhong, Wu Tao and He Mei to hire a car to load a few large wooden boxes and headed towards the Southern Heavenly Gate Pier. To ensure their safety, Zheng Xiong and Wang Yu split up from them.
After crossing the Jialing River, they went straight to Liu Xiang Mansion on the south bank of the Jialing River.
As one of the biggest warlords in Sikong, Liu Xiang's mansion was heavily guarded. A squad of soldiers guarded the gate meticulously and watched the people passing by vigilantly. There were also sentry boxes and sandbag bunkers built around the gate. Two Maxim machine guns were pointed at the left and right sides of the street. Several heavily armed soldiers patrolled outside the mansion. It would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for anyone to sneak into the mansion.
The soldier in charge of guarding stopped Yin Yong and asked for his name before waving him away. Why? Officer Liu was busy with military affairs. How could he have the time to meet a nobody? It was only when Yin Yong secretly stuffed two dollars into the squad leader's pocket and took out his American passport that the squad leader agreed to help him speak to the higher-ups. However, he could not guarantee that Officer Liu would meet him.
Ten minutes later, a major came to the gate, saluted, and said,""Hello Mister Yin, I'm Officer Liu's adjutant, Wen Sheng. May I know why Mister Yin wants to see Officer Liu?”
"Hello, Adjutant Wen. I am a returned overseas Chinese. I have come to ask for your help because I want to choose a place to build a factory in Sichuan!”
"Mr. Yin should have gone to the Civil Affairs Office for this matter. Why are you here?”
"Yes, Adjutant Wen is right. It's just that this is my first time returning to the country and I don't understand the situation in the country. I don't have any connections in the country, so I came to learn from Officer Liu!”
"I wonder what kind of factory Mr. Yin has decided to build?”
"In the beginning, we plan to build a steel factory and a power plant. Then, we will build other factories depending on the situation!”
Wensheng couldn't help but feel a little strange. The roads in Sihe were difficult to travel through since ancient times. It was difficult to build factories. The transportation of raw materials and products was also difficult. Did a donkey kick his head? However, when he thought of Yin Yong's claim that he had just returned to the country, Wen Sheng felt a little relieved. It seemed that he really did not understand the situation in the country at all! Although he despised Yin Yong, this was a serious matter, so he did not dare to keep it a secret. After asking Yin Yong to wait for a while, he went to Liu Xiang to ask for instructions.
After another ten minutes, Wen Sheng returned to the main gate and ordered people to let him in. Seeing that Yin Yong was carrying too many wooden boxes, he even asked the guards to help carry them.
Liu Xiang's main building was a two-story villa. The first floor was for the office and reception of guests, while Liu Xiang and his family lived on the second floor. Wen Sheng brought Yin Yong and the others to Liu Xiang's office, knocked on the door, saluted, and said respectfully," Sir, Mr. Yin is here…"
Liu Xiang was handling some documents with a writing brush in his hand. He did not raise his head when he heard this and said,"Sit, serve tea…"
"Yes, sir!" Vincent saluted, pushed open the office door, and walked out with the guards who helped carry the wooden boxes.
Yin Yong did not sit down either. He stood in front of a long sofa and waited quietly for Liu Xiang.
After a while, Wen Sheng walked into the office with a teacup made of sand. Seeing Yin Yong standing there without saying a word, he did not say anything either. He placed the teacup on the coffee table in front of Yin Yong, nodded slightly to Yin Yong, and stood behind Liu Xiang.
The work in Liu Xiang's hands seemed to be very important and also very troublesome. After more than half an hour, when Yin Yong felt his legs go weak, Liu Xiang, who had no distractions, put down his brush. After the ink on the paper dried up, he handed it to Wen Sheng and said,"Quickly send it to the Chief of Staff and have him carry it out!”
"Yes, sir!" Wen Sheng took out a briefcase, carefully folded the document, put it in the briefcase, saluted and left.
Liu Xiang then raised her head and glanced at Yin Yong."You are Yin Yong?"
"Yes, Officer Liu, I'm Yin Yong, an overseas Chinese from the United States, and my ancestral home is Guan County…"
Liu Xiang interrupted Yin Yong and said," I already know. Tell me, what do you want to see me for? Also, why did you bring so many boxes?"”
"Reporting to Officer Liu, I returned to the country for the sake of saving the country, so I decided to build a few factories in Sichuan. The things in the box are some gifts I brought back from America!”
Liu Xiang walked out from behind her desk and said,"Sit, sit down and talk!"
"Yes, thank you for the seat, Officer Liu!" Yin Yong hurriedly said.”
After taking a seat, Liu Xiang lit a cigarette and said while puffing,""Industry is a country's future. Our country's foundation is weak and weak, so our industry has never been able to develop. Moreover, building a factory in Sichuan can increase the employment of the people of Sichuan and prosper the economy of Sikong. I personally welcome it with both hands!”
"With Officer Liu's care, I believe that my factory will be built very quickly to benefit the people of my hometown!”
"According to what you said, you will first build a steel mill and a power plant. These factories will require a large amount of heavy machinery and equipment.”
"Officer Liu, I have already made a deal with the manager of Lihe Trading Company. The machinery and equipment will arrive in about half a year!”
"It seems that you've long been certain that I would agree to your request to build a factory?"”
"Officer Liu, as a native of Sichuan, you wholeheartedly seek happiness for the people of your hometown. My actions are the same as Officer Liu's. I believe that Officer Liu should agree with my decision!”
"Since you have the equipment, without the workers, your machines and equipment are just a pile of scrap metal. You have to know that China is not like America. There are not tens of millions of skilled workers waiting to be employed in China!”
" That's right," Yin Yong said." That's why the contract between me and Lihe Trading Company also states that they need to provide me with a certain number of engineers and technicians to guide me in production!" At the same time, a friend of mine also agreed to help me hire workers from Northern Crystal and Sky Crystal! Commander Zhang of the Northeast has been operating for many years and has a certain foundation in the industry. After Zhang Shao Shuai fled without fighting, many workers also fled to the pass. I believe that we can invite some of them. With the help of foreign technicians, we can test production and train the workers. It won't be long before we Chinese can operate those machines ourselves!”
"Friends? What friend?" Liu Xiang laughed and said,"Is it Xiao Lan?"”
"Sir, you know Xiao Lan too?"
"If I don't know you, how did you escape from Yue Chi?”
Yin Yong was only slightly surprised, but he was not too surprised. When he was in Yuechi, he had already guessed that Zhou Lan must have an extraordinary background. To be able to make a regiment commander personally bring people to save the emperor, to be able to make the officials and squires of the entire county try their best to curry favor with her, how could her background be bad? But he didn't know where she came from. He didn't want to mix anything else into their relationship.
"Then you must be Xiao Lan…Miss Zhou's uncle?”
"How do you know?" Liu Xiang asked curiously. Did Xiao Lan tell you about me?" It turned out that although Zhou Lan had told her family about her experience in the past few days, she had also mentioned Yin Yong's matter, hoping that Liu Xiang would help Yin Yong. It was also for this reason that Liu Xiang had met Yin Yong. Otherwise, how could a returned overseas Chinese, as one of the top warlords in Sikong, have the time to meet him? However, Zhou Lan also told her family that she had never told Yin Yong about her identity, which was why Liu Xiang was a little curious.
Yin Yong replied," Reporting to Officer Liu, Miss Zhou did not mention her identity. However, Miss Zhou made a phone call at the Yuechi County Police Station. The person who answered the phone was Miss Zhou's aunt. Not long after the call, a regiment commander led his troops to the police station. That's why I made this guess!”
"Not bad. You're quick-witted, righteous, and love your country. Xiao Lan didn't misjudge you!”
"Officer Liu, you flatter me!"
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Let me see what gift you've prepared for me!”
